Just found we were out of space on bugzilla-web.gnome.org causing
problems with uploading attachments, sending mail, etc.

It doesn't have a very big / - just 5G including the system image, and
we had ~2.7G of log files.

I added logrotate to our puppet moduleset and configured it to compress
log files by default - when the old log files were compressed that took
the space usage down to about 500M.

This is global across all log files on all our puppet-managed systems -
it seems like the right default.

Menubar isn't puppet managed yet, so it won't help with problem that
Olav is pointing out, someone still needs to deal with that.
